Is monetization on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram included in my license?

Yes, it is! The only thing you need to do in order to unlock monetization on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram is to send us the video links of your published content. If you’re a corporate subscriber, please send the links to your productions to your contact person at Epidemic Sound.

For track shop purchases links can be added directly into the license under your account.

If you do not whitelist your productions by sending us the links, or if you whitelist them retroactively, you will automatically receive a Content ID claim on YouTube and your video might be de-monetized on Facebook and Instagram. A Content ID claim is nothing to worry about, the only thing that will happen is that ads may appear and you may lose the ability to monetize yourself. If you want to unlock monetization please dispute the claim and contact us, and our Rights Management Team will deal with your request as soon as possible.

If the YouTube ads are hurting your brand and you need the claim to be removed urgently, please contact us at copyright@epidemicsound.com.
